Translator: Chaos_ Editor: Chaos_
Ardent Fire City. The Ardent Fire Marquisdom was crowded today. They had gotten news that Prince Xue Ying would be returning!
“Prince Xue Ying has already left from the teleportation array. He’ll be reaching the Marquisdom soon.”
The news passed really quickly.
By the entrance of the Marquisdom, all the elders had already arrived including Ying Shang Lie Hu and Rong Xing Lan. All of them were looking forward with excitement. Marquis Ardent Fire had even appeared personally by the entrance of the Marquisdom. As for other disciples within the Marquisdom, they were here even earlier–even ‘Ying Shan Zhong Fu’, the son of Chan Yu Yan Zhen, had come.
“Lie Hu, this son of yours is extraordinary. I’ve heard that he has already crossed through the God Yuan Palace sixth level. How long has he entered the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion for?”
“This comprehension ability and talent… he is really amazing. Truly astounding. In the future, he might even become a Conferred King. By then, our Ying Shan Clan would have two Conferred Kings.”
The elders who were usually haughty were currently conversing enthusiastically with Ying Shan Lie Hu.
Ying Shan Lie Hu merely grinned. He bit his lips.
Delightful! Exhilarating!
This feeling of being respected satisfied Ying Shan Lie Hu.
“He is back.”
The surrounding suddenly became quiet. Nobody dared to chat or make a din. They were watching as a handsome white-robed young man flew over with a black-robed male fanning himself. Tian Yi Zhi, the female attendant Yan Yu, two Black Stream Cloud Wolves, and other subordinates were also following closely behind them.
They had already heard of who that black-robed male fanning himself was–the famous ‘Senior Zi Bai’ that came from the ancestral family, also rumored to be a powerful Primal Chaos realm magic servant. His status was higher than the ordinary clan elders.
“He is indeed Prince Xue Ying to make a Primal Chaos Magic Servant be his protector.”
“When will it be that I can have one be my protector too? To be treated so grandly by everyone is something that I don’t mind dying for.”
All of them were watching with sheer envy.
…
When Xue Ying saw the crowd of people welcoming him by the entrance of the Marquisdom, he immediately rushed over and shouted: “Grandpa Marquis, mother, father.”
“Hahaha, Xue Ying, you have greatly boosted the reputation of our Ying Shan Clan. I have already gotten transmissions from quite a few friends of mine, telling me that you have already succeeded in crossing through the sixth level of God Yuan Palace!” Marquis Ardent Fire said with great gusto. He was delighted, “Those old friends of mine have mentioned that it is possible for you to become a Conferred King in the future with your comprehension abilities. But you must remember not to be complacent. After all, you haven’t reached the Primal Chaos realm now.”
“Xue Ying understands.” Xue Ying replied.
“Mn.” Marquis Ardent Fire nodded with a smile, “Let’s go! We have prepared a banquet within the Marquisdom to congratulate you in becoming an inner disciple as well as crossing through the sixth level. Talking about that, I aren’t even a disciple of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.”
There were very few official disciples of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.
Even fewer disciples came from within the nation.
Usually, they would either be some huge genius, or a Primal Chaos giant with a void lineage. Naturally, those powerful like ‘Old Mother Ying Shan’ had been invited over to become an elder of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion! As for Marquis Ardent Fire, with his power, he was not qualified to become an elder.
The Southern Cloud Sacred Religion… in reality, was also the nation protecting religion for the Southern Cloud Nation. With the three Cosmos Gods and many Conferred Kings, they were considered part of the Southern Cloud Sacred Religion.

While Xue Ying was participating in the Marquisdom’s celebratory banquet, within the Ying Shan ancestral family.
“Hu hu…”
The gale was blowing harshly.
On top of a snowy mountain peak.
Old Mother Ying Shan sat cross-legged on a huge stone. Her consciousness had fused in one entity with the whole Ying Shan Clan–her breaths were one with it. At this moment, the Ying Shan Clan was in her senses.
“Old Mother, Prince has returned to the Marquisdom. Yesterday night, he attended the banquet prepared by the Fan Clan’s ‘Fan Tian Chong’.” Magic Servant Zi Bai reported everything that happened recently.
“Tell me in detail, and I’ll listen to them.”
“Yes. During the banquet, there was a protector who challenged Prince…”
Old Mother Ying Shan was listening to Magic Servant Zi Bai’s report. Hearing how Xue Ying revealed Xue Ying’s great combat skills made her reveal a grin. Good! He did not rely on the Southern Cloud Sacred Body. Instead, his realm had reached a sufficient stage. Furthermore, he had adapted the Southern Cloud 12 Sacred Styles into his own body technique. This comprehension skill was really terrifying. But the more frightening it was, the happier Old Mother Ying Shan would be since he was a disciple from the Ying Shan Clan.
“My Ying Shan Clan has finally seen an absolute genius appearing.” Old Mother Ying Shan was ecstatic.
But what she did not know.
Was that in Xue Ying’s plan, he wanted to sculpt himself as the most exceptional talent across the entire Southern Cloud Nation. He had no choice. Xue Ying did not wish to restrain himself and not reveal his skills. But he had to take it easy as well–to remain weaker than the most heaven-defying talents in the six great ancient nations.
There were absolutely some geniuses who came from the six great ancient nations who seemed more exaggerated than Xue Ying. But Xue Ying suspected that those geniuses might be reincarnated. Hence, it was better for him to control himself slightly–it sufficed to be the top genius within Southern Cloud Nation.
“After the banquet, he asked Fan Tian Chong for help. He sought to see an incomplete secret treasure spearhead within the Fan Clan’s shop.” Magic Servant Zi Bai continued.
“An incomplete secret treasure spearhead?” Old Mother Ying Shan felt puzzled.
“Yes. The Prince likes that secret treasure spearhead a lot. When he first came to the Southern Cloud Nation, he fell in love with it! I’ve heard that the incomplete secret treasure was left behind by a powerful expert from before the first War of the Ancient Nations, ‘Scarlet Cloud Paragon Master’. That time, the Fan Clan’s shop manager did not permit Prince from scrutinizing that spearhead.”
“This time, Prince actually held onto the spearhead for four full hours before letting it go in the end. On the second day, he returned to the Ardent Fire City.”
Old Mother Ying Shan felt really puzzled now: “He likes that incomplete secret treasure that much?”
“Yes. When he was touring the Southern Cloud Nation Treasured Goods Market, Prince remained looking at that spearhead the longest! In my opinion, the reason why Prince participated in the Fan Clan’s banquet and defeated that protector while revealing his skills was all for the sake of gaining the favor of Fan Tian Chong. After that when Fan Tian Chong permitted Prince to look for him if Prince has any trouble, Prince immediately asked him for a favor to see that spearhead.” Magic Servant Zi Bai had always been following Xue Ying. Hence, he was able to observe the other party’s actions and behavior distinctly. He could sense that Xue Ying desired that incomplete secret treasure spearhead from deep his heart.
“Oh?” Old Mother Ying Shan was deep in thoughts.
